Aaron's OT at daycare

Jane's email from Tuesday: "We had a good session yesterday. staff reports he is doing well. he is getting to sleep at nap with pats on the back. He was yawning when I came in at 11:15. We did some scooterboard play in the gym and threw basketballs at the goal along side other children. Prior to lunch I let him suck and chew on the z-vibe. He ate the chicken patty and I encouraged play with the peas and canned pear pieces. He smashed the peas with a spoon and dipped the z-vibe (not vibrating) into pear juice and sucked it off the probe. He would not eat any tiny tiny piece of pear on the vibe. Megan prompted him to take a bite but he refused. He did go back to sucking up the juice. I encourged the staff to continue to allow food play. He picked up some peas and pears and placed them on the clean-up napkin. Sometimes it takes ten to twenty one days of seeing a food on the plate before a picky eater will try a new food. the nice thing about daycare is he will see the same foods over and over.Dana put the z-vibe in his backpack. I suggest you keep it at home and offer it as soon as he gets home and prior to eating dinner. You can also ask if he wants it before going to bed. He can keep it until he turns three or is no longer interested in using it.How are things at home? eating, sleeping, crashing toys?"
